About this artwork
I know shellac from a completely different context: As a trained carpenter, I considered this natural varnish to be a particularly high-quality surface finish.
As an artist, I've used this again in a number of works—mostly collages. Collages bring together things that, at first glance, don't seem to belong together. This creates new ideas that lead to new perspectives.
In my work, I combine acrylic, charcoal, and shellac to create a dynamic composition… with vibrant textures and contrasting color palettes. This composition is an exploration of the emotional depth revealed through material blending. Each element on the canvas represents a feeling or idea, captured in movement and layered materials.
This image represents energy and reflection and invites the viewer to explore complex surfaces and underlying meanings.
Annette G. Rathjen is a versatile artist with a background in photography, painting, and printmaking. She works with a mixture of painting, collage, and drawing, layering elements upon elements. She uses acrylic paints, charcoal, chalk, but also sand, coffee grounds, marble dust, ash, and sometimes old nautical charts. This creates a tension: lines and colors assert themselves, are covered over. Something new breaks through, something old remains visible. It's like a conversation on the canvas—sometimes a dialogue, sometimes an argument.
The result is images that reveal both structure and movement. They are not linear narratives, but fragments, superimpositions that challenge us; inviting us to let go of our perception, not to stop at the first step, but to inspire us as viewers and invite our own interpretation. Her works are exhibited in France, Austria, Italy, and the USA.
